Overview of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009

Recovery logo

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) was signed into law by President Obama on February 17th, 2009. It was an unprecedented opportunity to jumpstart our economy, create or save millions of jobs, and put a down payment on addressing long-neglected challenges so our country can thrive in the 21st century. The Act was an extraordinary response to a crisis unlike any since the Great Depression, and included measures to modernize our nation's infrastructure, enhance energy independence, expand educational opportunities, preserve and improve affordable health care, provide tax relief, and protect those in greatest need.

http://grants.nih.gov/recovery/faqs_challenge.html


Research and Research Infrastructure "Grand Opportunities" (RC2) (RFA-OD-09-004)

The NIH established a new program entitled Research and Research Infrastructure "Grand Opportunities." This program supported projects that addressed large, specific, biomedical and biobehavioral research endeavors that would have benefited from significant 2-year funds, without the expectation of continued NIH funding beyond two years. The research supported by the "GO" grants program should have high short-term impact, and a high likelihood of enabling growth and investment in research within NINR's mission and priority science areas germane to the 'science of health.' (Please note: This Funding Opportunity Announcement has expired. The application due date was May 29, 2009.)
